Come
Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them
the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they
shall be recreated; and you will renew the face of the earth.
Oh God,
who by the light of the Holy Spirit instructs the hearts of faithful,
grant by the same light that we may be truly wise and
ever rejoice in His consolations. We ask this through Christ
our Lord.
Amen. |
